My son, 7, will be a first timer although I did Universal maybe 12 years or so ago. We will be there 11/29 and 11/30 and then get on the Magic for the 7 day cruise on the 1st. We're hoping my son grows another inch so he can make the 54" rides, he is a daredevil (rode matterhorn at 2 and the rest like space mtn at 3 - luckily he is a bit of a giant) and I have to pay my sister's way so she will ride the roller coasters with him, I'm a wimp and not ashamed to admit it!!
